Freeheld tells the incredible true love story of Laurel Hester (Julianne Moore) and Stacie Andree (Ellen Page) and their fight for justice. To celebrate the release of Freeheld in cinemas and on Digital HD on February 19 and on DVD on February 22, we’re giving you the chance to win a DVD copy of the film.
On June 26 2015, in a landmark decision, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the right to marriage is guaranteed to all Americans, including same-sex couples. A decision that was undoubtedly propelled by the determination of individuals such as Laurel Hester and her partner Stacie Andree, whose story started out as an intensely personal experience of love and identity, but in 2005, became a flashpoint in the growing battle for justice and equal rights.
Based on the award–winning documentary, FREEHELD is the true story of Laurel (Julianne Moore) and her partner Stacie (Ellen Page) and their incredible fight for love and justice. An esteemed New Jersey police detective Laurel is diagnosed with terminal cancer and has once wish – to leave her hard earned pension to her domestic partner, Stacie, so she can remain in their home. However the county officials, ‘Freeholders’, seek to prevent this on the grounds of their same-sex partnership thus igniting a passionate fight that inspired a global movement.
Directed by Peter Sollet (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist) and also starring Michael Shannon (Take Shelter, Boardwalk Empire) and Steve Carrell (Foxcatcher, Anchorman)
